I know it’s hard to believe, but yes – Mike and I split. It is what it is. We just couldn’t agree on stuff anymore. Some call it creative differences? Whatever. The guy is awesome, if you don’t count that he’s color blind. Lime is green dude! Cherry is red, not purple. Get it? Go write some songs since that seems to be where your focus is right now. The packaging? OK, I admit I started it. I mean, if he wasn’t going to agree on my new design, then what was I gonna do? I actually think it’s funny (can’t say the same for our guys in the factory — sorry man!) Like any artist, I felt the need to express, so I did. So now that I’ve busted out, I’ll be allowing my creativity to explode. I’m about art, film, color. Definitely a lot of color. Hanging with my cool, artsy friends. I’ve already been painting much more (fruit candy is still my favorite subject). My friend Eden Sher from The Middle (one of my favorite TV shows) thinks I should go to film school and learn fruit candy animation. I didn’t even know they had that. I’ll keep you all updated here on my blog, so be sure to check back often. Art knows no strangers! Yeah Mike, art knows no strangers man! ~ Ike
